The biopic has Aishwarya playing the role of Dalbir Kaur, while Randeep Hooda plays her brother and Sarabjit, the protagonist.

Darshan will be portraying the role of Khalid Pervaiz, a Pakistani lawyer who fights for Sarabjit’s justice.

“I have to learn his body language, adapt how he talks and walks. I will have to lose some weight. We plan to meet the lawyer,” said Darshan, who was also seen in “NH10”.

This is Darshan’s second film with Omung. “We share a great equation. We know each other very well. He is a very caring person,” he added.
